(465)
Seeing Cai Wenchuan so happy, Ye Wenyu felt happy too; it's always joyful to help others. She thought to herself that even without love, being with Wenchuan would be beneficial; at least she would have someone legitimate to accompany her. She had endured loneliness for too long and was now terrified of it.
Therefore, her heart felt warm and sweet.
Cai Wenchuan led her to where he had parked his car, then drove off, with Xiaoyu sitting in the passenger seat. His car was a Chevrolet, a very ordinary family car.
Sitting in Cai Wenchuan's car, she could imagine life ten or twenty years from now: peaceful, smooth, and harmonious. Although there would be no love or excessive material enjoyment, she would live a normal life, and the years would be peaceful and serene.
A smile appeared on her lips as she thought to herself, "One shouldn't be too greedy, right? To live a peaceful life like an ordinary person until old age is already a successful life."
What is love? Love is like the sunshine; if you try to hold it in your hand, it will slip away faster than anything else.
Therefore, when they arrived at Cai Wenchuan's dormitory and he led her inside and gave her the red brocade box again, Ye Wenyu, though still somewhat resistant, forced herself to accept it.
A gentleman keeps his promises; Brother Wen will be a good lover.
Because she said she still had classes during the day and hadn't graduated from university yet, and the two of them still had to worry about the rumors about teacher-student relationships on campus, he walked her out.
The two walked into the small garden. Cai Wenchuan looked at the garden, which was now overgrown and looked like a wild field, and said to her apologetically, "So much has happened in the past two years. The garden has become overgrown. Don't worry, I will buy flower seeds in a while and replant the garden. I know you liked growing flowers when you were a child."
Hearing this, Ye Wenyu felt a warm current flow through her heart. She nodded. If he was willing to change for her and have only her in his heart from now on, she would also slowly fill her heart with him and live a peaceful and harmonious life with him.
If her family of origin wasn't ideal, then she and he could rebuild an ideal home. That ideal home would be beautiful and warm, with two lovely children, a boy and a girl, a house that wasn't too big or too small, an ordinary car, and decent jobs. It would actually be very, very good.
She returned to her dormitory under Cai Wenchuan's watchful gaze. Then came classes and part-time work, and the day passed. The next morning, she took a break to deliver food to Uncle Cai at the hospital, only to be told that he had already been discharged, so she had to return to school.
That evening, when she returned from self-study, she had just reached the gate of the girls' dormitory when she saw a tall, muscular man in black emerge from the shadows, glaring at her angrily. It was Lin Tingfeng!
Ye Wenyu stood there, stunned, as if she had seen a ghost!
Was he here to confront her and demand an explanation?
He was like a horned demon, his hair seemed to be smoking and his eyes were spitting fire as he desperately tried to control his volcanic rage.
Ye Wenyu's face turned pale, and her heart pounded in her chest. She pressed her lips tightly together, otherwise her heart would have jumped out of her chest.
Seeing Ye Wenyu's extreme shock, Lin Tingfeng smiled coldly and asked sadly, "What, don't you recognize me?" His voice was extremely hoarse, as if he had suddenly contracted a serious throat ailment.
Ye Wenyu remained silent. She had nothing to say.
She quietly took a step back, tensing up as if on guard.
It was already late at night. Few students were as diligent as Ye Wenyu. As a result, most of the girls were already resting in their dormitories. There were few students outside the girls' dormitory, and the surroundings were as quiet as a primeval forest.
However, Ye Wenyu was still worried about being seen or photographed by others, so she said to Lin Tingfeng very quickly, "Let's go somewhere else to talk."
Lin Tingfeng looked around, nodded, and took the lead towards a secluded spot. Ye Wenyu followed behind him, keeping a distance of nearly fifty meters. Moreover, her pace slowed down, and the distance between the two widened. A pale, full moon hung in the sky, its dreamlike light casting long shadows of the two of them.
Lin Tingfeng noticed that she hadn't followed for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. When he reached the small grove of trees in the library and couldn't see anyone around, he suddenly turned around and strode towards Ye Wenyu, quickly closing the distance to fifty meters. He stopped when his nose was almost touching Ye Wenyu's hair, and looked at her angrily, his eyes almost spitting fire.
Ye Wenyu felt inexplicably scared, her large, doe-like eyes looking at him in fear.
This was the first time she had seen Lin Tingfeng so enraged that he had gone mad. He had always been a man who remained calm and composed, like a mountain collapsing before him or the Yellow River bursting its banks. She had never imagined that one day he would get angry and lose control of his emotions.
He lowered his voice and said angrily, "Why are you so far away from me? Am I a man-eating monster?" His voice was trembling with extreme disappointment and anger.
Ye Wenyu was stunned. Remembering the incident of Lin Tingfeng's wife coming to the school to beat her up, she was overcome with anger and retorted sarcastically, "If we don't stay that far away, what if the detective your wife hired takes pictures of us? I'll be in deep trouble no matter what!"
Lin Tingfeng was stunned. His anger, which had been growing like a storm, suddenly vanished miraculously. He returned to his usual calm and leisurely demeanor. His emotions were like a typhoon, coming and going quickly. He finally understood what had happened.
Today, the butler came to resign. He assumed it was because of his previous warning to him not to pursue Ye Wenyu, as Ye Wenyu would never marry his son. He thought this was the reason for the butler's resignation and intended to persuade him to stay, appealing to his emotions and reasoning, and emphasizing the separation of public and private matters. However, as soon as he finished speaking, the butler, with a vengeful smile, said to him, "No, young master, that's not the reason. I've never been angry with you. You've always been very good to me. I'm resigning because my son has a girlfriend. She'll be getting married after graduating from university, so I want to dedicate most of my energy to their wedding. Also, my wife and I are getting old, and our son is successful and can support us in our old age, so we plan to retire. I hope you will grant my request."
Lin Tingfeng only heard, "I resigned because my son has a girlfriend, and she'll get married after graduating from university." He heard nothing more. His mind went blank, a complete void.
